Fun fact, woman and man come from different roots. So while it might have the letters of man in it, it doesn't have man exactly.
That doesn't sound right...
From what I remember "woman" comes from "wifman", which is a compound of "wif" and "man", and back then "man" still refered to male and female persons, and "wer" and "wif" were male and female persons respectively.
Fun fact: my memory is shitty. Looks like you're right except that "man" wasn't gendered at the time.
except that “man” wasn’t gendered at the time.
But I included that, didn't I?
and back then “man” still refered to male and female persons
Or do you mean rather than male and female, I should have said persons regardless of gender? I guess that makes more sense.
Fun fact: I can't fucking read either.

Wasn't Brono in UR2?
Brooklyn is Kings County. Queensborough is Queens County. Staten Island is Richmond County. Manhattan is New York County. The Bronx is Bronx County.
Isle of Man would like a word...

According to my NYC high school teachers, most of the streets in lower Manhattan were named after big landowners. There are a few streets with female first names [Catherine, Jane, Anne] that were named after the wives/daughters of the great men.
